EssentialSPACE:
Therapeutic Parenting and Treatment of Attachment and Trauma in Children & Youth
Parenting and treating traumatized children and those with attachment disorders is challenging – it often feels like a lonely journey into the “final frontier.”EssentialSPACE helps caregivers, and the professionals who help their children, to learn additional trauma-sensitive, attachment-focused strategies and interventions related to the essential elements of therapeutic parenting. The workshop, conducted by Billy Kaplan, a Clinical Social Worker, and Christine Moers, a therapeutic parent, will be like sitting in on a conversation with these two leaders in the field as they discuss some very practical ways to implement therapeutic parenting every day. As Dan Hughes said about their work together, “First they help us to understand the tremendous challenges that children face after first having experienced neglect and abuse at the hands of their original parents. Then Christine and Billy let us know that they “get” the tremendous challenges facing parents who are trying to raise these children. They do not give us magical techniques or parenting cookbooks. They direct our minds to the basics: an attitude of playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy (PACE) along with the value of developing a home that provides these children with safety, supervision, structure, and support. They leave us with hope and renewed energy to provide these children with what they desperately need.”
